Nov. 27, 2002 – Join friends and family for an evening of old fashioned Christmas fun at the Havensight and Port of Sale malls when they host the annual Christmas tree lighting on Friday, Dec. 6.
The program begins at 5:30 p.m. with a performance by the VIRCD Signatures and Spirits at the end of Building 2. The official tree lighting ceremony follows at 6 p.m., when Santa will arrive to distribute gifts to the first 600 children.
Entertainment will be provided by Cool Sessions, Imaginations, Stanley and the Ten Sleepless Knights, Mocko Jumbie Jamboree and the steel bands from Antilles, Bertha C. Boschulte and Charlotte Amalie schools.
Local foods and crafts will be on hand, and door prizes will be given away as island guests and residents do some Christmas shopping. The fun continues until 9 p.m.
